Issues installing gtkglext #32

Closed neetsaki closed 4 years ago

neetsaki commented 4 years ago

Hello! Seem like it's a useful GUI for many computational chemistry softwares. However, it's very hard to compile it, especially it's dependency. It may need users have a good command of GTK+platform construct. When I attempt to install gtkglext, there is a weird error appearing

gdkglfont-x11.c:21:10: fatal error: pango/pangox.h: No such file or directory
   21 | #include <pango/pangox.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

but when I check for pango package by pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 , it seems all is fine....

-pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libmount -I/usr/include/blkid -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/fribidi -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/uuid -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lfontconfig -lfreetype

This software installation is very difficulty for a student major in material science (/w) Hope for updating a full installation guide in detail, or a binary version with static library.

Hello @neetsaki, Would you mind telling me which system you are trying to install GDIS? Sorry I planned to prepare an INSTALL.txt file with more distribution-specific instruction but I've very busy lately... m( )m Best,

Thanks for your reply~(My system is Ubuntu 19.10) Just now I find a auto-install pre-requisite method using apt-get command in youtube (url)~

sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1-dev
sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0

and all problem have disappeared~~~ Recommend to add a note for other potential users——“never compile these pre-requisite package step by step by yourself” www PS: It's really a useful tool for me and thanks for your "wheels" again~~

Glad my video was useful. Have a nice time with GDIS and don't hesitate to ask if you bump into another issue ;) Best,
